Fixed retainers are just that. They are fixed or "glued" to the teeth. The are placed in a position which do not interfere with the bite and are behind the teeth so you cannot see them. Hygiene can be more difficult with fixed retainers because flossing becomes more challenging. So we try to reserve fixed retainers for cases that had severe crowding or large spaces. Even with fixed retainers in place, we recommend wearing the removable retainers provided.
